Claddagh Records Irish music shop. This is a great little shop. If you are looking for any particular traditional Irish music album, song or tune they will have it here. They also do a great mail order service. The shop is in Templebar.

Kilmainham Gaol. One of the largest unoccupied gaols in Europe, covering some of the most heroic and tragic events in Ireland's emergence as a modern nation from 1780s to the 1920s. Attractions include a major exhibition detailing the political and penal history of the prison and its restoration. The tour of the prison includes an audio-visual show.

Experience Gaelic Games: In a world of homogeneity, where many travel experiences have become similar across the globe, “Experience Gaelic Games” offers you a chance to engage in something that is uniquely Irish, something that is embedded in our culture and history and yet is part of day-to-day living. The Experience is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Viking Splash Tours. This is a really great way to tour the city and is also great fun. The tour takes in all the top sights including Viking and Medieval Dublin, Trinity College, Christ Church Cathedral, Georgian Dublin and much more. The tour departs from Stephens Green North close to Grafton Street on an amphibious vehicle that takes you from land to water and back again.
